ReasoningAlphabet, Letter Series & Word Formation
Arrange the following words according to dictionary arrangement: (i) Epitaxy (ii) Episode (iii) Epigene (iv) Epitome (v) Epilogue
- a.(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v)
- b.(iii), (ii), (v), (iv), (i)
- c.(iii), (v), (ii), (i), (iv)
- d.(v), (iv), (ii), (i), (iii)
Answer: (C) (iii), (v), (ii), (i), (iv)
Comparing the letters after "Epi-": Epigene (g) comes first, then Epilogue (l), then Episode (s), and finally Epitaxy and Epitome (both starting "epit-"), where comparing the 5th letter "a" (Epitaxy) precedes "o" (Epitome). This gives the order: Epigene, Epilogue, Episode, Epitaxy, Epitome — i.e., (iii), (v), (ii), (i), (iv).
